The cover illustrates the reenactment of Henry
Knox’s monumental Cannon Trek of 1775-6.
Conceived as a Bicentennial observance of the occasion, it
was planned and executed by High School Seniors from
Woodstock, Hartford, Poultney, and sixteen other schools
across Southern Vermont.
Rutland Vo-Tech Students built a replica of a cannon that
was then hauled by student participants from Brattelboro
to Fort Ticonderoga as a reenactment of the historic
moment.
Numerous photographs of the participants document the
passage from November 10,1975 to December 5,1975.
